Not a pic of my engine bay, but just one I found on the net. I Have a 86.5 7mgte. Basically have had problems where car will idle low/stall after warming up/boost and a mechanic has decided to disconnect that hose and block both ends up. So that valve (or w/e the proper term is) is...

Since yesterday it's been idling low as soon as it warms up. When it's cold it's fine and idles around 900 which is what it has always been. But after driving for a few mins every time I let off the gas or put the clutch in the revs drop fairly quickly, which makes gear changes a bit rough...

Best way I would use to describe this - when you put a card or a piece of cardboard next to the spokes of a bicycle wheel and it hits it each time it goes round. The faster you go the faster the noise is. If that makes sense. Basically when I'm driving I can hear a ticking noise at anything...

The last two times I've driven the Supra it's suddenly died while driving. I -think- both times were when I was letting off to slow down to a stop and it just suddenly dies but I can start it up again fine. Checked for codes and all I got was a 41 which tbh I have no idea how old that could...

How do you have a 3" pipe and have your car sacked on coilovers while staying legal? Had a thread on this a while back but now need to get onto it for cert and wof. Basically the back of my exhaust sits slightly under the dif so is roughly 50mm off the ground and needs to be 100mm for...

Key doesn't work (never has) and now my lever won't open it. I can hear it working but it doesn't make that popping/clicking sound. Probably really basic but have a lot of stuff in the hatch I'd have to move/crawl around to get back in there and reconnect/whatever up.

Right so today I noticed my passenger door isn't locking properly. Whenever I use the central locking switch on the drivers side door (the one that locks both) my passenger lock (the stick that sticks out of the bezel, not sure of correct name, the thing you use to manually lock/unlock it) only...

Hate the electrical side of these cars but am trying to get my boost and temp gauge to light up when the headlights come on, they're mechanical and both work but neither put out any light. The boost gauge has 1 wire coming out of it (is it missing one?), the temp has 2. My ash tray light and...

Finally got a set of Tein Super Streets for my 86.5. I've installed coilovers on a couple of Nissans before but never a Toyota let alone our cars. Was just wondering if there's anything majorly different that I need to know about about the coilovers or our cars in terms of swapping out the...

Have some Tein SS coilovers on their way but am unsure what to do with my exhaust that seems to hang unusually low under the car. If I lower the car too low then the exhaust will get damaged. I've attached a couple of pics of it. Exhaust was done by PO. Is it missing a bracket or something...

Anyone had any experience with the HR model of Tein Coilovers? Have found a set of 2nd hand ones really cheap but have never seen the HR model mentioned here on SM and can't find them on the Tein website either. Are these an older model? What are they best for, ie street, track etc? My car...

If anyone has the time and wants to do a photoshop of my car lowered (yes I am saving up) I'd really appreciate it, and if I can ask if anyone want's to throw a quick sig of any of the pics from my build thread that'd be great also. Anything's fine, don't spend too much time on it, will...

One of my headlights is brighter than the other, by quite a bit, any way to fix this? Both my fog lights now no longer work. One stopped working a little while ago and now both are gone, chance of both bulbs going? One of my orange lights on the front (can't remember the correct name for...

Just recently fixed a code 31 by replacing the AFM, ran great after that, had no problems. Until the other day, was driving steadily at around 2k revs, my foot didn't move, but then the car started kind of like bogging for a few seconds. It'd drop maybe 100 revs then back up, then repeat a few...

Trying to install a headunit into my 86.5, had no previous headunit there, only a bunch of cut wires that are a complete mess. Anyway, bought two wire harnesses today, one for headunit and one for the Supra (was for a 87 Toyota but I'm guessing it'll be the same) Anyway, the Toyota one has...

My kickdown seems to be really random about when it wants to come on. Sometimes I'll put my foot flat and nothing will happen and other times it'll work and kickdown a gear. Have looked at the cable but I have no idea how to adjust it?

RHD 86.5 Toyota Supra Factory 7mgte Got this car about 6 months ago with a run bearing and 192000km on the clock, have since done a full rebuild and have just recently had it back on the road. Mostly everything's stock: TMS MHG and ARP studs 3" exhaust with no cat (not straight through...

Freshly rebuilt 7mgte, done about 400kms since rebuild. MHG and ARP studs. Still running in engine. Car mostly stock. First problem with engine today. Drove for about 5 mins, got to operating temperature and then came off throttle to come to a stop, saw engine check light come on and car...

Quick background Purchased my 86.5 JDM Supra about 5 months ago with a run bearing, has been fully rebuilt and tonight I finally got to drive it briefly. Mostly stock, very tidy, only took it to get gas and only noticed a couple of things, they may sort themselves out or it may be...

Looking to buy some H&R Race Springs (that lower around 2"), for my 86.5 and was just wondering a couple of things: 1) Where can I buy them online that'll ship worldwide (and where is the cheapest place to get them)? (Ones on eBay are about $300 for shipping to New Zealand!), or is anyone...
